Behind the scenes at the Festival of Quilts 2015

After a long drive and several coffees, we're finally setting up our stand for the Festival of Quilts at the NEC in Birmingham. We're really excited to be here, and we hope you can make it too!

We're here with Juki Sewing Machines (stand A55 in case you wondered), and we're going through the long process of putting together our stand. We thought we'd give you a behind the scenes look at our set-up...

Normally we put up the quilts ourselves, but this year Juki brought along Liv. Liv is a window dresser, and she's absolutely fantastic. She's working wonders with our stand. Here's a sneaky peak:

Liv is into making displays 3D - so fun!

Coming together. Slowly...

Juki have got some snazzy new headers this year too - we think they look great! Here's a first look:

Shiny and new!

Emily's Thread Painting is also on display. I just looooove the colours in this. Mmmmm... The threads she used are Superior Threads, which are also on sale at our stand!

About Me

Born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland, married an English man and raised 6 children in Lincolnshire,UK. I'm keen to make American innovations in machine quilting more readily accessible to the English quilter. I take a folk art approach, helping ordinary people achieve extraordinary results. I've been developing, demonstrating and teaching hand-guided free-motion machine quilting techniques since 2003.
